Here's an update regarding alleged forced firmware updates.
Super SF IV does not require a firmware update. I currently have it playing on a 60GB SKU with 3.15 firmware installed.
Also, there is no option to install the current firmware update on the game disk. Not in the game itself, or through the Update Via Storage Media in the System Settings. I don't know where this information is coming from. No surprise here as it would be a first among the 50 or so games I've run on the PS3.
So as of right now, that information is made up, as in imaginary and non-existent until proven otherwise as far as I'm concerned.
All I can say right now is that I'm sure 3D support and Move support WILL require a firmware update, but everyone should already know this. The code to enable those features didn't exist when 3.15 was the current firmware. So anyone using what is now an unsupported feature with Other OS installation simply won't have access to these new features.
As for all other games based upon the original (as of 3.15) feature set; still waiting for that game that will allow me to update my firmware off disk. After someone can confirm this exists, then I'd like confirmation that a firmware update is required to run any game.
